If F(n) < n, then yes, karma disappears from the system when voting on comments, but is pumped back in when voting on articles.

It does appear that the choice of a suitable F(n) isn't quite obvious, and this is probably why F(n) = infinite is currently used.

Still, I think that a more restrictive choice would produce better results, and less frivolous voting.
